doctor strange

Ah 2016, the year that all of our favorite superhero's forgot what the heck they were doing and decided they all needed to fight each other (like isn't Thanos still out there?). In honor of this redundant infighting, it is with great satisfaction that we bring you the top 10 superhero movie trailers this year (by views) and a truckload of the best memes they spawned.

Today saw the release of the Marvel's Doctor Strange. A movie that we can't help but be excited about. 

As much as we love the visual mindbending adventure, and as much as we adore Cumberbatch, it's important that we pause and take a moment to reflect on the character's history. That way we can appreciate the implications and can see how it reflects on the time in which he was created, and what we can learn from it today. 

We couldn't get more excited about the approaching release of Doctor Strange. (we'll take anything with Cumberbatch). Here are some things you probably didn't know about the history of the approaching movie.
